Me

Me

My name is Doug Fraley, and I live in the UK, in a bit of London called Richmond. I moved to this fair country in 1998 after growing up in Ohio and living in different parts of the U.S. and Europe.

Three wonderful teenage boys call me Dad, not without justification. Their lovely mother and I split a few years ago, after 19 years of marriage. They all live a mile down the road. My amazing partner, J, lives just around the corner from my one-bedroom flat, with her dog, Jack.

Aside from these super people, my interests include music, cycling and travel. On the music front, I sing and play piano - mainly to myself. With cycling, my days of competitive sportives and gritty urban commuting have largely given way to short, bracing rides in Richmond Park, occasionally punctuated by longer ones in the Surrey Hills. The cycling overlaps with the travel as well. J has a VW camper van, and we travel around Europe with the bikes (and kayaks) on the back. Wherever we stay, we look to take in the scenery at human-powered pace.

But all of these interests, and my whole life, take place within a fundamental curiosity I have. I guess you could say that it's a curiosity I live. Some would call it philosophical, others spiritual, some even religious. Fewer would call it scientific, but it is certainly empirical, based in my own experience.

I've had and still have a working life. I won't go into that here. Anyone who wants to find more about that can do so on LinkedIn or at my company site, P3 Leadership.

I've taken to writing more about where my curiosity leads me, and this site is one of the places I do that.
